Firefox 4 and later use a combined Stop/Reload/Go button that is positioned at the right end of the location bar.
During the page load process it shows as a Stop button and after the loading has finished the button is changed to a Reload button.
If you type in the location bar then that button becomes a Go button.
Middle-click the Reload button to duplicate the current tab to a new tab.

Hi, I had to go to Firefox tools and hunt up the reload button which I assumed and hoped was the refresh button, which for some reason was not up there on the bar, and added it. And I sure appreciate your explaining things, and will not hesitate to ask again if I get tripped up. Thank you! Twojays

You're welcome.

To move the Stop and Reload buttons to their position to the left of the location bar you can use these steps:

• Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize"
• If the menu bar is hidden on Windows or Linux use "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"
• Drag the Reload and Stop buttons to their previous position to the left of the location bar.
• Set the order to "Reload - Stop" to get a combined "Reload/Stop" button.
• Set the order to "Stop - Reload" or separate them otherwise (Space or Separator) to get two distinct buttons.
